Mamas and Papas Guesthouse and Apartments in Seoul

Very nice staff. Kind roommates. You get what you pay for! Also the location is top notch if you want to be by hongdae.

Wouldn't do a long stay, but for a few nights it's perfect.

Great location! This hostel is in the heart of Hongdae near subway and bus lines. I have stayed at this hostel many times and always look for beds here whenever I visit Seoul.

The bathrooms and beds are not bad, but not great. A few small rennovations to the bathrooms and beds could raise the hostel's quality significantly!

Everything perfect

Location and staff

Having somewhere to sleep for the night.

The stairs were dirty and crowded, as well as poorly lit, which made it difficult to go up and down past 11 p.m. when the elevator is out of service. Also, making it an accessibility nightmare. The room also felt like a prison cell. There were only 2 women's bathrooms, and the pillows were quite uncomfortable. The signage was also inconsistent, and all need to be updated as every sign says something different. Women's bathrooms weren't even properly labeled, and I had to get help from staff to find them. There was no clearly stated check-out process, so I wasted time going up to the 5th floor to check out, when I could have just left right away. Water from the men's bathrooms would also leak into the main floor.
